Verdict

IMAGE ARTIST (8) returns for the Caboche team after tackling some strong 2YO races in her debut prep. Turned in some strong showings there and the inside draw should see her get a soft run for Tourneur. Readied with a jumpout and can make a bright start. FAVOURITE CHAIR (2) was doing his best work late on debut at Balaklava last month when well supported. Is sure to have come on from that and will appreciate the added trip. ZEUS LIGHTNING (3) is a Fierce Impact gelding on debut for the Hickmott stable. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work and is expected to make his presence felt. GRECIAN JEWEL (7) also debuts and is another that has shown good signs at the trials. Hails from the smart juvenile stable of R & C Jolly, so any betting moves in her favour should be taken seriously.
